The answers you want are in the code. Meaning, you need to go exploring. Your search should start with wp-includes/template-loader.php. This is the very last file WordPress includes before the theme get’s loaded. it runs through a bunch of conditionals to check which type of page we’re out and what template to fetch. The relevant … Read more
If you read the codex you will see that is_single accepts post id’s / titles / slugs and EDIT If you are using two custom post types then WP will select the right single-POSTNAME.php And in your check you best check the posttype like: if ( get_post_type() == ‘postfolio’ ) { /*do stuff*/ }
The template naming is a bit confusing in this situation, but what is happening is normal behavior in the Template Hierarchy. home.php shows your posts page, whether it’s on the front page, or assigned to another page when using a static front page.

This means that users can over-ride the plug-in template with a theme-specific one by simply creating … Read more

There are two different ways to implement what you want to do, and both are perfectly valid, depending on your needs: Post-type archive index page Custom page template Post-type archive index page This implementation uses the WordPress template hierarchy to output the archive index page for your custom post type. For custom post type archive … Read more
Why reinvent the wheel? Just create archive-{posttype}.php, and ensure that ‘has_archive’ is set to true for the post type. If your post type is event: archive-event.php. Then, WordPress will handle the query automatically. If pretty permalinks are enabled: example.com/{posttype} …will display the archive index page for {posttype}.
Presumably you are using wp_insert_post to create your pages. Having done so, do update_post_meta($id, ‘_wp_page_template’, ‘my_template.php’);
